			<h1 id="usage">Usage</h1>

<p>Once you authorized LinkLiar (see <a href="installation.html">Installation</a>), you can get started.</p>

<h2 id="️-attention-mind-the-gap">⚠️ Attention, mind the gap</h2>

<p>Remember that if you change the MAC address of your Wi-Fi <strong>while connected</strong>,
you will <strong>loose connection.</strong></p>

<p>Wait one minute or turn the Wi-Fi off and on again to reconnect properly.</p>

<h2 id="-first-things-first">👆🏻 First things first</h2>

<p>Initially, LinkLiar does nothing at all.</p>

<p>So, I recommend you do the one useful change, which is setting the <strong>Default</strong>
to <strong>Random</strong>.</p>

<p><img src="default-random.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>For beginners: you can now close this manual and sleep in peace. You’re all set.</p>

<p>All others: Let’s look at what those individual options do with your MAC addresses:</p>

<p><img src="interface.png" alt="" /></p>

<h3 id="-do-nothing">🛌 Do nothing</h3>

<p>Simply ignore this interface.
Whatever the MAC address is, do not modify it.</p>

<p>(You will also not be warned about leakage with an icon for this interface if it is using its original MAC address.)</p>

<h3 id="-random">🎲 Random</h3>

<p>Make sure that the MAC address is never the original one.
It the MAC address already is random, it re-randomizes when you click on this.</p>

<p>Pro-tip: The address can periodically be re-randomized, see <a href="settings.html">Settings</a>.</p>

<p>By default, the MAC address will use a prefix by Apple and a completely random suffix.
Advanced users may customize which prefixes LinkLiar should use by holding the Option ⌥ ke –
this will reveal a new menu item called “Prefixes”.</p>

<h3 id="️-define-manually">✏️ Define manually</h3>

<p>Keep the MAC address to what you specifically say it should be.</p>

<h3 id="️-keep-original">♻️ Keep original</h3>

<p>If the MAC address is not the original one, reset it to the original.</p>

<h3 id="-default">📖 Default</h3>

<p>Defer the configuration of this interface so that whatever has been
defined in the “Default” menu applies to this interface.</p>

<p>For example, if the default is “Random” and you plugin an ethernet cable,
it will immediately be randomized.</p>
